A Mzuzu City-based security company, Lino Security Service, has entered into a partnership with the Northern Region Table Tennis Association (TTAM) to promote the growth of the sport tennis in the region.

Speaking at the regional TTAM’s elective annual general meeting in Mzuzu, Lino Security Service’s Chief Executive Officer, Maxwell Mnjemu, emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in the partnership requesting the association’s strategic plan to support the facilitation of priorities.
